PNG to JPG

How to convert PNG to JPG

PNG files are lossless, which makes them beautiful and heavy — screenshots and exported graphics are often several megabytes. Converting to JPG typically cuts 70-90% of the size with no visible difference, which is why forms, email and websites usually want JPG.

Add your PNGs below, pick a quality, and download. Transparent areas are placed on white automatically.

What you lose and what you gain

PNG stores every pixel exactly. JPG throws away detail the eye is poor at noticing. For a photograph that trade is overwhelmingly worth it — 70-90% smaller with nothing visible lost. For a screenshot containing text, the trade is worse: JPG compression produces faint fuzz around letters that PNG does not have. Convert photographs freely; think twice about screenshots.

Transparency becomes white

JPG cannot store transparency. A logo with a transparent background arrives with a white rectangle behind it, which is obvious the moment you place it on a coloured page. If the transparency matters, convert to WebP instead, which keeps it and is still much smaller than PNG.

Why your screenshots are so large

Screenshots are saved as PNG by default on both Windows and macOS, and a full-screen capture on a high-resolution display can easily exceed 5 MB. That is the single most common reason people end up here.

Frequently asked questions

Will the image lose quality?

JPG is lossy, but at the default 92% the difference is invisible for photos and screenshots. Lower the slider only if you need a much smaller file.

What happens to transparent parts?

They are filled with white, which is what people expect. JPG has no way to store transparency.

Can I convert a whole folder?

Yes — select as many PNGs as you like and they come back as one ZIP of JPGs.
